Register for the next Shared Learning Group sessions 📢

Topic: Communication in Clinical Settings

Getting care in places like a doctor’s office, a therapist’s office, or a hospital, should make everyone feel heard, respected, and supported. In this session, we will look at real examples from clinical settings and talk about how supporters and Assistive Technology (AT) can make a big difference. We will also review important rights and policies, and share simple tools and resources to help you, and the people you support, feel more confident and prepared when working with medical providers.

Every three months, The Link Center hosts virtual shared learning groups for direct support professionals, clinical professionals, family members, and people with lived experience. These groups provide opportunities to dive into important topics and tap into your expertise and experiences related to people with cognitive disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and brain injuries, and mental health conditions. These meetings are led by members of our steering committee and project partners.
